Iranian Political Prisoners Behrouz Ehsani and Mehdi Hassani Face Imminent Execution After Transfer to Ghezel Hesar Prison
Jan 26, 2025, 08:49 PM
Two political prisoners in Iran, Behrouz Ehsani and Mehdi Hassani, have been transferred from Evin Prison to Ghezel Hesar Prison, signaling an imminent risk of execution. The transfer occurred on January 26, 2025, and has heightened concerns for their safety. Ehsani, aged 70, and Hassani, aged 48, were sentenced to death by Tehran's Revolutionary Court on charges including rebellion against the state, enmity against God, spreading corruption on earth, and membership in the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). Their death sentences were upheld by Iran's Supreme Court three weeks prior to their transfer. The move has prompted protests from other inmates at Evin Prison, who have voiced opposition to the potential executions with slogans such as 'This is the final message; if you execute, there will be an uprising' and 'Death to the dictator.' Amnesty International has called for the immediate cancellation of their death sentences, citing allegations of torture and unfair trials. The European Parliament has also condemned the systematic repression of human rights in Iran and urged the release of political prisoners.
